<![CDATA[Anemia among adolescent girls remains a significant public health problem, largely driven by inadequate iron intake and low adherence to iron supplementation programs. Traditional health education methods are often less engaging for Generation Z, highlighting the need for innovative digital approaches. TikTok, a widely used social media platform, offers short-form audiovisual content that may enhance health education delivery. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of TikTok-based anemia education in improving knowledge, adherence to iron supplementation (Tablet Tambah Darah/TTD), and hemoglobin levels among adolescent girls. A literature review was conducted using articles retrieved from PubMed/MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and the Indonesian Publication Index (IPI). The search covered publications from 2020 to 2025 using the keywords: (“TikTok” OR “short-form video” OR “social media intervention”) AND (“anemia” OR “iron deficiency”) AND (“adolescent girls”) AND (“knowledge” OR “adherence” OR “hemoglobin”). A total of 116 articles were initially identified. After screening titles and abstracts, 74 articles were retained, and 44 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility. Based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 20 studies were included in the final analysis. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns related to intervention characteristics, outcomes, and effectiveness. The findings indicate that TikTok-based and other audiovisual educational interventions significantly improve adolescents’ knowledge of anemia, increase adherence to iron supplementation, and contribute to improved hemoglobin levels. TikTok-based education represents an effective and innovative digital health promotion strategy for strengthening anemia prevention efforts among adolescent girls.]]>
